So I'm pretty much a console gamer. Since the Gameboy and Atari Linx I've never really got into handheld or mobile gaming. I often find it amusing watching my dad sit there switching between Candy Crushes as his lives dwindle, thinking to myself we have the likes of Uncharted, Gears and Zelda... They have Candy Crush.
So a few weeks ago I'm sat with my brother in A&E and I download Marvel Puzzle Quest on my phone. I end up playing it for 3 hours until we go home. Today I'm sat here and I'm still playing this game. I play it between my umpteenth attempt at beating the kitchen demo or during a load screen or whilst I wait for the kettle to boil.
I'm not sure what it is that has me hooked, whether it is the match 3 aspects, or the building your own deck, or leveling up your characters, finding new abilities, daily missions, story missions, creating or joining alliances, or maybe it just really is a great game.
The game feels like Gwent, Pokemon, candy crush and puzzle quest had an orgy and made a baby. If that sounds appealing I recommend you check it out.
